Texting and driving

You were doing 40 in a 60 zone and couldn’t stay in your own lane all due to you texting and driving. Just cause You had your phone on the top of your steering wheel doesn’t mean you were paying attention to the road. Get off your phone.

And don’t get all pissy when someone like me honks their horn at you to drop your phone. Someday you’ll cause an accident and guess what it might just be with the wrong person who doesn’t mind smacking some sense into you.

And for all the snowflakes that’ll comment “so you say don’t text and drive yet you have your phone out and taking a photo” -it was a red light fyi and it was to blast this guy so hopefully he’ll see this and remember how stupid he is.

So why the hell didn’t you call the cops to report it? If they were that bad, you should call so you can put an end to it and potentially save lives. FYI guys, it’s not distracted driving if you are speaking with the police or emergency services.

You have the license plate in the picture. Show it to the police. They can get the address form the registry office. They can send him or her a warning by mail. That will do more to prevent this person from doing this in the future.

If a police officer saw you taking a picture at a Ted light YOU would get a ticket. I don’t get why people still do this shit. I chuck my purse in the back of the car and don’t even think of it. If someone really needs to reach me they can call me and I can answer through the car. Even that, I find distracting.

There was another post the other day, same basic idea.
FYI did you know that when you report a problem driver to the police they will attempt to contact that person by phone and warn them to knock of the stupid shit? I know someone who was called because he was apparently being stupid in a retaliatory fashion one morning.

Allie Heppner first of all I wasn’t being stupid just didn’t let her pass cause she was a bitch she got butt hurt like you women get and she called the police useing a non free hand phone and speeding while doing it the police didn’t say much all they said was they took her info and put it under the list called I’m a little bitch

Jess Machmer oh Jess, keep your pants on, it was an example and you have clarified nicely the basic situation and how it played out. Thanks for confirming that the cops take this step. And chill, that was years ago!

This comment section is full of fucking morons. Taking 2 seconds to take a pic of a reckless driver’s license plate at a red light is NOT on par with swerving in and out of lanes because you are an irresponsible driver and an inconsiderate piece of shit. All of you getting upset at the OP seem like the same type of scumbags this post is about.

Sorry if I seem like a “TrIgGeReD bRoFlAkE” but I’ve had friends & family die from drunk/distracted drivers. Maybe one day you losers will grow up and realize there are consequences to your shitty actions.

What’s the difference between the two??? They both clearly have no problem using their phones while driving. So what makes one different from the other. You can’t honestly tell me that the OP doesn’t sit there and use his phone while driving. If he uses it at a stop light, he uses it while driving. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. If you have no intent of using your cell while driving, why even have it accessible while operating a motor vehicle? For someone who claims they have lost friends and family to drunk/DISTRACTED drivers, you sure do sound like you condone and are willing to make exceptions to the rule.

You seem to have formed a very iron-clad conclusion despite having 0 evidence. “It makes sense that OP could possibly text and drive because their cell phone was in arm’s reach, therefore I conclude OP texts and drives!” That’s very unreasonable. My mother doesn’t text and drive, yet I’ve seen her pull out her phone to expose a drunk/insubordinate driver. If taking literally 2 seconds to take a picture while immobile to get a reckless driver off the road is on the same caliber as the reckless driver in your opinion, then you’re simply stubborn.

I don’t use my phone while working. But if it’s in my pocket, and I see some asshole parking in the handicap stall to get quicker access to the liquor store, I’ll take a picture of their plate. By your logic, I am on my phone all day at work, right?

At the end of the day, I see a bunch of young, entitled idiots getting mad at the OP for trying to make the roads safer. Either you’re an idiot who can’t comprehend context, or you’re a piece of shit who texts and drives.

Did you know if someone took a pic of my car with my license plate and posted it on social media I would get a lawyer and you would have a lawsuit on your hands…careful what you post. You need to report to the police and not be just as culpable by whipping out your phone behind the wheel. I do not drive and use the phone but if someone felt the need to do this I would come after you. Be smart! You know not who is going to react and probably not in the way you were hoping. You know that the site could be sued too…FYI how do I know I make it my business to know. So all this vigilantism needs to stop and be reported properly.

Jaeme VandenHeuvel The difference is if you take my plate number and accuse me of whatever you best have proof. The proof being your pic taken of my license plate trying to state someone was driving and texting as you whip out your phone to take a pic while you are driving is a problem do you understand?This is how it can backfire on you. So everyone keep on with the vigilantism instead of reporting to the police and one day you will get my point.

Marilena Bombino that’s not what you said…. ” if someone took a pic of my car with my license plate and posted it on social media I would get a lawyer and you would have a lawsuit on your hands…”
A license plate is public knowledge and therefore simply posting a pic of your car and plate is fair game. There is no expectation of privacy on the road or social media.

It doesn’t matter if it was a red light! You did the EXACT same thing this guy did all just to put him on blast over SOE and FB! Well now here is your blast! Get off your fucking phone! I have 3 kids in my vehicle! I have had many close calls due to fuck tards such as yourself. Like “oh I’m an exception to the rule because I need to publicly shame this guy for it later, all over social media!” That’s basically how you sound in my mind. So do everyone a favor. Put your fucking phone down and pay attention. Red light or not! Still illegal!!! You want this guy to see this post so you can feel some sort of superiority over him and the fact you saw him. That’s all this is about! Otherwise you would have swallowed your anger and paid attention to when the light was going to turn green to proceed and be on your way! Don’t use this retards stupidity to justify your own stupidity.
